Microsoft surprises with a weekend release of Windows 10 Build 14385

Microsoft released Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14385 for PC and Mobile in the fast ring. Microsoft had released Build 14383 just two days back, thus surprised all by the weekend release of this build 14385. There are no new features in this build and it’s understandable as the Anniversary Update release is less than a month away. But this build has lots of improvements and bug fixes.

Projecting to a PC auto-discoverability is off by default. To make your PC discoverable, just go to Settings > System > Projecting to this PC and set “Windows PCs and phones can project to this PC when you say it’s OK” to “Available everywhere” or “Available everywhere on secure networks”.

Improvements and fixes in build 14385 for Mobile:
